Disappointing

Usually, Anne would make a big fuss, causing everyone in the house to think that Esther had started seducing James the moment she returned.

Esther was thinking about what she could do. When she turned around, she saw Anne smiling gently and holding James's arm docilely. Anne asked, "James, aren't we still going out? Hurry up."

It was so strange. Anne didn't take the opportunity to trouble Esther.

Esther looked at Anne, who was also looking at her with a smile. "Auntie just came back from Proley. She must be tired. Go back to your room and rest."

Esther didn't want to stay with them. She nodded, entered the room, and closed the door.

Esther finally made sure that she had returned to her bedroom safely.

Outside the door, Anne looked at James gloomily. She pretended to be gentle and virtuous, shaking James's arm. "James, why are you so tense? Ether knows herself well. Let's not bother her, okay?"
